The room was 6ft by 8ft, floored, walled and ceilinged by 2ft by 2ft panels that seemed too glow blue. All except for 8 panels, four on the ceiling- one in each corner- and four on the floor all clustered together to make a larger square. The four on the floor each held a leg of a chair welded thr...

He woke coughing, finding difficulty to breathe because the chains holding him to the chair were so tight. Blood trickled down his lip as his head rolled back so he could look at his attacker. Hank. It then all came back to him. The entry, the disk, being revealed, the escape attempt, calling of...

He turned as he fell so he could see the mist envelope him and distort into swirls as he fell through it. Rolling back to face the quickly rising water that sparkled with the shades from the rising sun that was slowly starting to warm the earth and open up the beauty of the woods that surrounded th...

I’m reawaken from my deep, but spotty, thinking by a very- very- light and nervous touch on my arm. Taking a quick account of myself, I find I’m still sitting on the dirt look out of the ocean, knees still propped up, arms folded and resting on them, and forehead resting on my arms. My eyes ar...

My head drops and I groan in pain of this new burden. There was no way to keep them from hunting me because they need me to start the war. Oh how I hate war. It kills, destroys, and ruins all life’s goodness and joy. I’ve lost count of how many years I’ve been alive- sad right, but very ea...

The salty air makes me want to choke as I gulp relaxing breaths. Once I’ve calmed down enough to think straight again, not just running off instinct, I crouch on the rail barrier. Closing my eyes I smile, loving testing my limits. Too much weight forward, I topple into the ruff rock-smashing su...

Jump:
I practically jump out of my skin, my heart leaps in my throat, and I stand so fast my chair topples over. This is what my subconscious was trying to tell me, Kit was sending a low blow. Taylor’s head immediately turns to me, his eyes like targeting systems, and I wonder if I’ve gone ...

My eyes open, flames dancing in the pupils. My hunter’s eyes widen, a curiosity lights his eyes slightly, but it’s held back by respect for me. He was told and trained well, but let’s see how well. We study each other in silence. He’s a broad man, nowhere nearly as big as Kit, but enough...

I come back slowly, on my own accord. I’m on the floor, having at some point in the night fallen out of bed … I haven’t really ever been a good sound sleeper, its either nightmares or this. Anyway, my clothes stick to me in a stiff but slightly damp manner. Standing, I shake myself out of t...

Cold, salty, ocean water lap at my toes. Socks stuffed in my shoes and shoes hanging around my neck, I stare off into the Atlantic. Two days straight of running have passed. I haven’t slept. I haven’t eaten. I haven’t felt more alive. Yes, exhaustion and fatigue weigh on me, still I smil...

“Where do you get these guys?” the deep voice chuckled. But his employer knew it was fear that made him chuckle, not curiosity. They watched the footage over and over, the boy entering their smog trap, collapsing, then somehow- against all odds AND what all the researchers, doctors, and scient...

Fire rolled like lava, devouring trees, grass, shrubs. Sparks pricked my skin, singed my hair. This couldn’t be a normal fire, this was wild, alive. Barely any smoke rolled up to darken the sky, above was just the bright cloud over hang of the early morning. Plus it acted like a liquid, not dan...

My eyes flash open, cloudy sunlight dilating my flamed pupils. Three men lean over me, drifter dressed, and most importantly a possible threat. Eyes narrowing, I leap up and get into a fighting stance. Pain etches through me but survival first. I try to take a deep breath and instead puke up a g...

I sneak through the foliage, on all fours, jungle cat style. Reaching the edge of the clearing my eyes glint in an amber mischief. Ahead looms a large building a block and a half long and about four stories high, flat roof and backed by the looks of a down town area. The Den, a home. Skirting th...

I had snuck into another room and was squirming through the vents toward the south side of the building when the alarm went off. The heat had me soaked in sweat, and with a flashing smile I think about how any tracer in the clothes probably would have shorted out by now. There is a vent leading ou...

His eyes grew heavy as he watched the screen for seventh hour straight. The boy was still lying on the bet unmoving. He looked at the clock; it was going on one in the morning. Yawning, the man looked longingly at the door, wanting to go to the bathroom and eat so bad. Ten more minutes till his ...

“Why yes, of course. But why where you in the sewers?” He goes to take my elbow to lead me inside but stops because of the filth that covers me.
“You see, I’m a sewer worker. I fix the pipes down there, and my partner had gone on a lunch break and went to get some burgers for me. I dec...

For a moment the only thing I know in the world is pain. My eyes flicker open, still burning slightly from the oil. Looking up through my eyes’ water medicine, I stare through the hole in the ceiling at the twenty to thirty stories above me. After a moment I realize that I just dropped from the...

Thunder vibrates in the air, rumbling and growling its threats to the earth below. Lightning snaps across the sky, crackling like an electric whip. I smile, eyes closed; it’s been a while since I’ve felt this oneness with a storm, since I’ve thought of our shared power and strength. I can f...

She caught his eye, he continued nodding along with the conversation but she had his attention. His eyes narrowed suspiciously as she let fear wash over her face and ran out of the cafeteria door. A low growl rumbled in his throat as he stood, reaching the door he stopped. Just because someone fr...

Power rippled through my veins, sizzling my nerves like electricity, the beast of long ago brought forth. Senses slammed into me, filling me with knowledge of everything that surrounded me. I took a deep breath, and sighed with pleasure of the old bringing me back. How did that work, I thought, how ...

He stared at the cuffs that chained him to the table. They wouldn't hold him, he wondered if his captors knew that. They probably didn't, and he smiled to himself at their ignorance. Oh well, he'd be gone soon anyway, teaching them of who they were dealing with. ‘Know my strengt...

The White leapt over the first row of trenches, landing on a small wall separating the first and second row, and then jumped onto the next. It didn’t slow or stop once. Five rows and they were on the hand entered enemy territory. Swerving and swaying they weaved around the enemy and their bulle...

Darkness leaked through the trees like ink, the dark forest night was only penetrated by a pair of headlight beams. A soft drizzle patted the dry earth, like tears wetting the dirt. The owner of the headlights drove down the road wondering where it would lead him. His black Camaro streaked with d...

Racing the tanks. Flying down the field, all heading the same direction. The large metal bodies all around them, closing in, slowly constricting the space. The rider smiled. “Let’s show them just how special we are,” he shouted over the roaring noise around them. “Let’s show them what ...
